Day one!

Student teaching, day one: Complete.

Activities: Choir rehearsal at the high school, awing fourth graders with my ability to sing all the scat-syllables on "We Go Together" (from Grease) perfectly, showing third graders how to whistle, etc.

Favorite moment: I was standing behind a couple of kids, singing along with the CD, and a boy turned around and asked me if I'd ever thought about auditioning for American Idol. Also, a girl told me she thought I was pretty ♥

Learned today: Elementary school tykes get very squirrely when they're kept inside from recess due to the cold. THEY CAN'T SIT STILL. And it's not very reassuring when you're being introduced to a high school choir, and one guy says, "So...she's the so-called teacher." Yeeeeeeeah...

Also, I shouldn't sleep on my hair when it's wet. Or else I will wake up looking like a French poodle on a really bad hair day. Seriously, it took longer to tame that than it really should have >.>;;

Opinion: I had a GREAT time :D

Status: If you need me, poke the dead body on the floor pleez. Soooooo tired...

*pokes* |D

But really, even adults get antsy if kept inside when they know they should be able to go outside. *snerks*

Still, sounds like you had fun~♥

*twitches*

With as cold as it's been lately, I'm perfectly content to sit inside and watch a movie and knit until my fingers turn blue. But that's just the way I am, I s'pose ^__^

I had a great time. And I get to go back tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that...and then it's the weekend, so I get two days off. SLEEPING IN FOR THE WIN!! :D

*pokepoke!*

Ah... you have a point there. I wouldn't be outside myself, either... although the cold weather we're having right now is making me crave ice cream... hm... *ponders if she should waste $3 on ice cream...*

Not too different from college, then? XD;

... *glaaaaare*

I've always been more of an indoors girl than anything. Although sometimes during the summer, when it's not too hot, I like to go sit on the back porch and read. It's very relaxing and comfy :D But more often than not, I curl up in the basement or in my bed and read/type/knit ^__^

*grrrrrr* *bares teeth*

*giggle* I never watched that show...but I don't have any recess duties. Just four classes of kids every day from one to three-fifteen. And that's fine by me :D

You were good. Riiiiiiiiight. I totally believe you.

Welcome to the "real" world. The kids sound really cute, and what nice compliments you got. Don't worry about that guy in the high school choir - he'll learn. :D

The first day working a "real" job is exhausting - it's the nervousness and excitement that does it. And the early morning rising *ouch*.

Glad your first day went well though.

Thanks! *glomples*

Me either! Yay parties! ...Hey are you busy on Saturday? Cause I somehow managed to get my hands on four tickets to this Silent Movie thing somewhere and if I drag my parents along that's only three... ^^;

You know what I'm wondering? What's going to happen when all these kids find out you're into some of the same shows that they are XD. I had some interesting experiences volunteering at Nature Center camps when I chimed in on cartoon show conversations. It'll be even more interesting if you run into some anime fans in the secondary level ^^.

Oh, and I posted some comics I drew badly. Looking for replies on those *broad hint*

My mom got the tickets to that movie thing yesterday! So I've already got a ticket, but I would definitely not mind having someone to sit with/giggle with if the thing turns out to be boring :D :D :D YAY!

...one of these days, I'll just mention Avatar or Animaniacs and see how many times I get glomped or gawked at =P

*completely misses the hint* I replieded to them! I must've got offline just before you posted those ^_^

Yay! I'm glad you had a great time. First impressions are important! Hope the rest of the days go as well.

And beat the people calling you a "so-called" teacher.

Awww, thank you! :D I'm a huge Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou nut, so that's why I have so many icons from that series. I should really expand my horizons a bit, though, shouldn't I?

Your icon is so pretty! ^___^
